Successful water sanitary license
Date Posted: 05/11/2023
With great happiness and pride, today we can say that after several processes, the sanitary license to sell water was obtained and thus expand our sales market. Currently an average of 2,000 jugs are sold per month (1,200 more than what was previously sold) these are sold in our community and surrounding villages. Despite the fact that the facilities were modified, due to the demand for the product, the storage space has been small. (Plans for another future project). Today more people have access to clean and safe drinking water. Infinite thanks for your help, God bless you!
About the Cause
Posted by Iglesia Evangelica Centroamericana Incensario de Oro in Guatemala on 04/28/2021
Our church is proud of our entrepreneurship efforts that serve our community. One of these is our water sales and delivery! We bottle clean water into large 5 gallon jugs and sell them in the community, raising around Q2,500 (~$325 USD) monthly for our church! We use the savings from the sales to make improvements to our water purification system, which allows this to be a fully self-sufficient project. We recently discovered that we need an expensive sanitary license and inspection to sell the water to other communities and have different products such as purified water bags, small bottles and juice bottles. This project has been a success for our ministry, but we need some support in getting this project up to code to impact a greater population. Water is always a need in our area, and we believe that we can be a solution to that problem by selling water to our neighbors at a fair cost. Asking the community to pay for the water is also a way to help them invest in their future through teaching them about the importance of saving money to use on necessities. You can see the professional set up we have for our water purification, bottling, and delivery in the photos. We are proud of how our church came together to start this project, and we hope to continue this ministry with your support!
